Authorities in the southern Japanese city of Beppu raided 56-year-old Tetsuo Urata’s home in late August and told media they “haven’t confiscated such a large number of panties in years.”
Justin Trudeau’s political style swept him into office. It may now see him out
“… Oh, how times have changed.
Over the course of the campaign thus far, O’Toole has managed to flip the script, striking an even tone and an earnest approach to politicking. The Liberals, on the other hand, have committed unforced errors again and again, by attacking the Conservatives in a tone that seems bizarrely insecure for a party that has been in power for six years.
The approach took a turn for the worse when Liberal candidate Chrystia Freeland was slapped with a “manipulated media” warning by Twitter for spreading a misleading video of O’Toole. And there was more. The Liberal campaign machine also waded into the swamp, releasing a video that assigned the Tory leader the Trumpian nickname of “Two-Tier O’Toole,” among other things.”
Tony Blair takes a swipe at Joe Biden as he says the US withdrawal from Afghanistan will give the West’s enemies ‘a belief our time is over’
Tony Blair today took a swipe at Joe Biden as he said the US withdrawal from Afghanistan will embolden the West’s enemies and give them a ‘belief our time is over’.
The former prime minister said ‘it is clear now’ the US has decided that for the ‘foreseeable future’ it has a ‘very limited appetite for military engagement’.
Mr Blair suggested Europe and NATO should therefore ‘develop the capability to act’ when the US is ‘unwilling’.
I don’t care much for either dog in this fight, but Blair is right about Biden.
Trudeau vulnerable as leadership emerges as election’s defining issue
With three weeks down and only 13 days until the election, it may be that the real campaign is only now beginning. The Liberals must hope so, while the Conservatives may be concerned about having peaked too soon.
The Conservatives led the Liberals at the long weekend by 36-33 per cent in the daily Nanos poll, an uptick of two points for the Grits since Thursday’s French debate on TVA.
Does China Really Believe in ‘Climate Change’?
China told Biden climate czar John Kerry that it would march to its own drummer on the issue of global warming. The South China Morning Post wrote that “Beijing has rebuffed American calls to make more public pledges on climate change before a UN climate summit in November, insisting it should follow its own plan rather than bowing to US pressure, according to a person familiar with the two countries’ negotiations.”
Defeat and Dishonesty
Denyse O’Leary, whom I always read with great interest in our Comments section, chides me for diagnosing our present woes but not proposing solutions.
That ought to be easy. In Afghanistan what needed to be done is almost as old as man. As Victor David Hanson pointed out to Tucker, “This is the greatest loss of military equipment in the history of warfare by one power.”
Oz here we come… Trudeau vows legal protection for businesses asking for proof of vaccination
The federal Liberals are promising legal protection for businesses asking for proof of COVID-19 vaccination from staff and customers.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau discussed the platform promise and other proposed supports for businesses and workers at a Labour Day campaign stop in Welland, Ont.
He says his party will table legislation if re-elected that will ensure organizations can require immunization without fear of legal challenges.
Opioids have killed 600,000 Americans. The Sacklers just got off basically scot-free
A bankruptcy court gave members of the pharma family immunity from further civil suits. They don’t have to admit wrongdoing – and they may end up richer than they started
Corporate money has a powerful and malign influence on so many aspects of American life. But even by that low standard, events this week in a New York bankruptcy court are shocking. The legal system has effectively allowed one of the country’s richest families to buy its way out of accountability for what a White House commission called “America’s national nightmare” of mass opioid addiction.
On Wednesday, the court approved a deal for the dissolution of the opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma, which kicked off the opioid epidemic two decades ago with its illegal drive to sell a high-strength painkiller, OxyContin. Purdue’s owners, members of two branches of the now-notorious Sackler family, are estimated to have made more than $10bn from the drug – even as the opioid crisis claimed more than 600,000 lives, with the toll climbing higher by the year.
“Nation Building”. Indeed, someone built this new USA. China? Corporations? Bought and paid for politicians? It looks like a planned event to me. https://t.co/j6JFa6dZaC

1976 Swine Flu Scandal: The CDC’s History of Lying About Vaccine Dangers and Effectiveness
Back before Big Pharma had total control of the corporate media, there were a few examples of investigative reporting that exposed the corruption in U.S. vaccination programs.
This is a report done by Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes in 1979 about the rushed-to-market Swine Flu vaccine of 1976, and shows how the CDC cannot be trusted for truthful vaccine information.
O’Toole’s Flip Flop May Fly Says NatPo
John Ivison: O’Toole’s reversal on gun policy may save his campaign
Erin O’Toole delivered his morning press conference with his back to the Burrard Inlet but in political terms, his back was to the wall.
The Liberals have found their wedge — gun control — and have been hammering it home with gusto. Justin Trudeau said on Sunday that O’Toole wants to take the country backwards on gun control. O’Toole has had difficulty registering a counter-argument because the platform he waves around with abandon is clear – the Conservatives will maintain the 1977 ban on automatic weapons but repeal the order-in-council from May 2020, in which the Liberals outlawed many semi-automatic weapons. The Conservative leader has argued his position is clear, but the only clarity was that the Liberals and the media would keep poking at this open sore until election day.
Afghan repeatedly stabs victim ‘because he didn’t like the fact she was a working woman’
A 29-year-old Afghan man in Germany repeatedly stabbed a 58-year-old landscape gardener who was working in a park in Berlin, allegedly because he didn’t like the fact that as a woman she was working, police said Sunday.
The man stabbed the woman in the neck several times in the city’s Wilmersdorf district on Saturday afternoon.
A 66-year-old man who saw the attack unfold rushed to help the woman but was also stabbed in the neck by the suspect.

Canadians have record-high mortgage debt. What happens when rates rise?
New numbers from Equifax this week confirmed what housing market watchers have known for a while now: Canadians are addicted to mortgage debt.
Canadians took out 410,000 home loans in the second quarter. That’s the biggest quarterly jump on record, up 60 per cent compared with the same period a year earlier.
Despite fears in the early days of the pandemic that COVID-19 could be a bucket of ice on Canada’s housing market, the opposite happened. Interest rates slashed to record lows, coupled with millions of Canadians cooped up at home suddenly needing more living space, acted more like gasoline on the housing market than water.
What happens when rates rise? You may lose your house. You don’t want this to happen while you’re PM.
Voters getting split between Liberals and NDP, creating path for Tories: election poll
As the federal election campaign gets tighter, a new poll provides hints on where the parties could see their support grow or shrink — and appears to show a growing split in the progressive vote between the Liberals and the NDP.
The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News suggests that split could create an opening for the Conservative Party, which not only has the most locked-in support but is also seen as the campaign with the most momentum.
Big Labor’s Socialist Agenda
The phrase, “Workers of the world unite,” is right from the Communist Manifesto. As we celebrate Labor Day, it’s important to remember how the communists historically tried to tap into the anger and discontent of American workers. Herbert Romerstein, who worked for the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the House Internal Security Committee, and the House Intelligence Committee, documented communist manipulation of the organized labor movement in a report for my group America’s Survival, Inc.
Will Serving As Prime Minister Of The 3rd World Be Trudeau’s Downfall?
Interesting to note media’s take on a potential Trudeau downfall. Everything other than one good reason for a fall from grace: the man has never stopped playing favourites.
It goes like this: Canadian-born citizens are racists. 3rd World-born immigrants are victims. Anglophones are bigots. Muslims are victims. “Old Stock” Canadians are homophobic, Gays are victims. Christians are genocidal, Aboriginals are victims.
Note the absence of historical context. Throughout Justin Trudeau’s parade of community apologies, was there ever an instance of placing Canada’s “national shame” within the context of its time?
Never is your answer. For Trudeau–or whoever programmed his brain to behave in this manner– a present-day Canadian is as guilty as one who walked our backwoods in 1867.
